Educational Q&A

Determination and power must be guided by ethical awareness: even when pursuing a rightful goal, one should consider the risks imposed on others by one’s haste and the burdens one carries.

Kaśyapa describes Garuḍa, having identified a large hollow-bellied mountain, flying rapidly toward it while still carrying a tree-branch along with an elephant and a tortoise.
